NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The results for the first six months are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year because TJX’s business, in
common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income
generally realized in the second half of the year.
2. The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring
adjustments, the use of retail statistics, and accruals and deferrals among periods required to match costs properly with the related
revenue or activity, considered necessary by TJX for a fair presentation of its financial statements for the periods reported, all in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The consolidated interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, contained in TJX’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 27, 2007.
3. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, TJX closed 34 of its A.J. Wright stores and recorded the cost to close the stores, as well as
operating results of those stores, as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the financial statements for the prior period ended
July 29, 2006 have been adjusted to report the operating results of the closed stores as discontinued operations.
4. The periods ended July 28, 2007 include after-tax charges of approximately $118 million ($196 million pre-tax), or $0.25 per
share, for the second quarter and $130 million ($216 million pre-tax), or $0.27 per share, for the first six months with respect to the
previously announced unauthorized intrusion or intrusions into portions of its computer system and related theft of customer data
(collectively, the “Computer Intrusion”). These charges include after-tax costs of $11 million ($18 million pre-tax), or $0.02 per
share, for the second quarter and $23 million ($38 million pre-tax), or $0.04 per share, for the six months, as well as an after-tax
accrual of $107 million ($178 million pre-tax), or $0.23 per share, for TJX’s estimated exposure to potential losses. As a result of
information that became available during and subsequent to the second quarter the Company was able to estimate its probable
losses related to the Computer Intrusion. This accrual reflects TJX’s estimation of probable losses in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and includes an estimation of total potential cash liabilities, from pending litigation, proceedings,
investigations and other claims, as well as legal and other costs and expenses, arising from the Computer Intrusion. In addition,
TJX expects to incur after-tax, non-cash charges of approximately $21 million, or $0.05 per share, in fiscal 2009. Together, this
accrual for estimated cash losses and estimated non-cash charges represent TJX’s best estimate of the total losses TJX expects to
incur as a result of the Computer Intrusion. As estimates, they are subject to uncertainty, and our actual costs may vary materially
from our current estimates. TJX may decrease or increase its estimates of future expenses or the amount of its accrual based on
developments such as the course and resolution of litigation and investigations and new information with respect to the Computer
Intrusion and amounts recoverable under insurance policies. Any such decreases or increases may be material.
5. Total stock-based compensation expense was $15.6 million for the quarter ended July 28, 2007 and $19.4 million for the quarter
ended July 29, 2006. Total stock-based compensation expense was $30.0 million for the six months ended July 28, 2007 and
$39.0 million for the six months ended July 29, 2006. These amounts include stock option expense as well as restricted stock
amortization. There were options to purchase 1.5 and 2.7 million shares of common stock exercised during the second quarter and
six months ended July 28, 2007, respectively. There were options to purchase 34.4 million shares of common stock outstanding as
of July 28, 2007.

6. TJX’s cash payments for interest and income taxes are as follows:

July 28, July 29,
2007 2006
(in thousands)
Cash paid for:
Interest on debt $ 16,119 $ 15,648
Income taxes $221,166 $283,122
7. TJX has a reserve for potential future obligations of discontinued operations that relates primarily to real estate leases associated
with 34 closed A.J. Wright stores as well as leases of former TJX businesses. The balance in the reserve and the activity for the six
months ended July 28, 2007 and July 29, 2006 is presented below:

July 28, July 29,
2007 2006
(in thousands)
Balance at beginning of year: $ 57,677 $ 14,981
Additions to the reserve charged to net income:
Lease related obligations — 1,555
Interest accretion 910 200
Cash payments against the reserve:
Lease related obligations (5,762) (944)
Termination benefits and all other (2,038) (5)
Balance at end of period: $ 50,787 $ 15,787
The exit costs related to the 34 closed A.J. Wright stores resulted in an addition to the reserve of $62 million in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2007. The addition to the reserve for the six months ended July 29, 2006 is the result of an adjustment to TJX’s estimated
lease obligations of its former businesses. This charge is offset in net income by creditor recoveries of a similar amount.
TJX may also be contingently liable on up to 15 leases of BJ’s Wholesale Club, a former TJX business, for which BJ’s Wholesale
Club is primarily liable. The reserve for discontinued operations does not reflect these leases, because TJX believes that the
likelihood of any future liability to TJX with respect to these leases is remote due to the current financial condition of BJ’s
Wholesale Club.
8. TJX’s comprehensive income for the second quarter and six months ended July 28, 2007 and July 29, 2006 is presented below:

The average common shares for the diluted earnings per share calculation exclude the incremental effect related to outstanding
stock options for which the exercise price of the option is in excess of the related period’s average price of TJX’s common stock.
There were options to purchase 64,000 shares excluded for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2007 and
options to purchase 7,956 shares excluded for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2006. The 16.9 million
shares attributable to the zero coupon convertible subordinated notes are reflected in the diluted earnings per share calculation in
all periods presented in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible
Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share.”
10. During the quarter ended July 28, 2007, TJX repurchased and retired 12.2 million shares of its common stock at a cost of
$344.7 million. For the six months ended July 28, 2007, TJX repurchased and retired 12.4 million shares of its common stock
outstanding at a cost of $350.4 million. TJX reflects stock repurchases in its financial statements on a “settlement” basis which
amounted to $332.6 million for the six months ended July 28, 2007, compared to $375.0 million for the same period last year.
Since the inception of the current $1 billion stock repurchase program, TJX had repurchased 34.7 million shares at a total cost of
$914.2 million through July 28, 2007. In January 2007, TJX’s Board of Directors approved a new repurchase program to
repurchase up to $1 billion of TJX common stock from time to time, in addition to the amount remaining as of July 28, 2007
under the current plan.

11. TJX evaluates the performance of its segments based on “segment profit or loss,” which TJX defines as pre-tax income before
general corporate expense and interest. “Segment profit or loss” as defined by TJX may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other entities. In addition, this measure of performance should not be considered an alternative to net income or
cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of TJX’s performance or as a measure of liquidity. The Provision for
Computer Intrusion related costs is not allocated to the segments. These charges are not directly attributable to any of the
segments and are not considered when assessing performance of the segment or allocating resources to the segment. Presented
below is financial information on TJX’s business segments:

As a result of voluntary funding contributions made to its funded pension plan in fiscal 2006 and prior years, there was no
required funding in fiscal 2007 and TJX does not anticipate any funding requirements for fiscal 2008.
Effective January 1, 2006, TJX amended its postretirement medical plan to eliminate all plan benefits for anyone retiring after
January 1, 2006. For retirees enrolled in the plan as of that date and who enroll in Medicare Part D within specified timeframes,
the amended plan provides a $35.00 monthly benefit, which is intended to cover the cost of the retiree’s monthly premium
payment for Medicare coverage. The reduction in the liability related to this plan amendment is being amortized over the
remaining lives of the current participants. The postretirement medical plan generated pre-tax income of $1.7 million for the six
months ended July 28, 2007, compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended July 29, 2006.
13. At July 28, 2007, TJX had interest rate swap agreements outstanding with a notional amount of $100 million. The agreements
entitle TJX to receive biannual payments of interest at a fixed rate of 7.45% and pay a floating rate of interest indexed to the
six-month LIBOR rate with no exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The interest rate swap agreements converted a
portion of TJX’s long-term debt from a fixed-rate obligation to a floating-rate obligation. TJX designated the interest rate swaps
as a fair value hedge of the related long-term debt. The fair value of the swap agreements outstanding at July 28, 2007, excluding
the estimated net interest receivable, was a liability of $3.3 million. The valuation of the derivative instruments results in an
offsetting fair value adjustment to the debt hedged; accordingly, long-term debt has been reduced by $3.3 million.
Also at July 28, 2007, TJX had an interest rate swap on the principal amount of its C$235 million three-year note, converting the
interest on the note from floating to a fixed rate of interest at approximately 4.136%. The interest rate swap is designated as a
cash flow hedge of the underlying debt. The fair value of the contract, excluding the net interest accrual, amounted to an asset of
$2.2 million (C$2.4 million) as of July 28, 2007. The valuation of the swap results in an offsetting adjustment to other
comprehensive income.
14. TJX has a $500 million revolving credit facility maturing May 5, 2010 and a $500 million revolving credit facility maturing
May 5, 2011. These agreements have no compensating balance requirements and have various covenants including a requirement
of a specified ratio of debt to earnings. These agreements serve as back up to TJX’s commercial paper program. TJX had no
outstanding short-term borrowings at July 28, 2007. At July 29, 2006, TJX had $141 million of commercial paper outstanding.
The availability under revolving credit facilities at July 28, 2007 and July 29, 2006 was $1 billion and $859 million, respectively.
15. TJX accrues for inventory purchase obligations at the time of shipment by the vendor. As a result, merchandise inventories on
TJX’s balance sheets include an accrual for in-transit inventory of $372 million at July 28, 2007 and $370 million at July 29,
2006. A liability for a comparable amount is included in accounts payable for the respective period.

16. TJX adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing
a minimum threshold for benefit recognition of a tax position for financial reporting purposes. FIN 48 also establishes tax
accounting rules for measurement, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and interim period accounting. As a result of
the implementation, TJX recognized a charge of approximately $27.2 million to the retained earnings balance at the beginning of
fiscal 2008. In addition, as a result of the adoption, certain amounts that were historically netted within other liabilities were
reclassified to other assets. As of the adoption date TJX had $124.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would
impact the effective tax rate if recognized. As of July 28, 2007, TJX had $131.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits.
TJX is subject to U.S federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In nearly all
jurisdictions, the tax years through fiscal 2001 are no longer subject to examination.
TJX’s continuing accounting policy classifies interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense.
The accrued amounts for interest and penalties were $39.6 million as of July 28, 2007 and $36.3 million as of January 27, 2007.
Based on the outcome of tax examinations, or as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations in specific jurisdictions, it is
reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change
materially from those recorded in the financial statements as of January 27, 2007. However, based on the status of current audits
and the protocol of finalizing audits, which may include formal legal proceedings, it is not possible to estimate the impact of such
changes, if any, to previously recorded uncertain tax positions. There have been no significant changes to the status of these items
as of July 28, 2007.
17. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans -An amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132 (R)”
(SFAS No. 158). SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the balance sheet; the
recognition in other comprehensive income of gains or losses and prior service costs or credits arising during the period but which
are not included as components of periodic benefit cost; the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the
balance sheet date; and disclosure of additional information about the effects on periodic benefit cost for the following fiscal year
arising from delayed recognition in the current period. The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 were adopted by TJX during
its fiscal year ended January 27, 2007. TJX deferred the implementation of the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 158 until
the current fiscal year (fiscal 2008). The impact of adopting the measurement provisions was to increase our post retirement
liabilities by $2.7 million resulting in an after-tax charge of $1.6 million to retained earnings during the first quarter of this fiscal
year.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined
in the standard. Additionally, companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding financial instruments in one of the
categories, including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances separately for each major category of assets and
liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. TJX believes the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on its
results of operations or financial condition.

The Thirteen Weeks (second quarter) and Twenty-Six weeks (six months) Ended July 29, 2006

Business Overview
We are the leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions in the United States and worldwide. Our T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and
A.J. Wright chains in the United States, our Winners chain in Canada, and our T.K. Maxx chain in Europe sell off-price family apparel
and home fashions. Our HomeGoods chain in the United States and our HomeSense chain, operated by Winners in Canada, sell
off-price home fashions. The target customer for all of our off-price chains, except A.J. Wright, is the middle- to upper-middle income
shopper, with the same profile as a department or specialty store customer. A.J. Wright targets the moderate-income customer. Our
seven off-price chains are synergistic in their philosophies and operating platforms. Our eighth chain, Bob’s Stores, was acquired in
December 2003 and is a value-oriented, branded apparel chain based in the Northeastern United States that offers casual, family
apparel and footwear. Bob’s Stores’ target customer demographic spans the moderate- to upper-middle income bracket.
In November 2006, we announced our decision to close 34 A.J. Wright stores as part of a repositioning of the chain. The following
discussion focuses on our results from continuing operations, which excludes the results of the closed A.J. Wright stores. The cost to
close these stores was recorded as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and the operating income or loss from
these stores is also presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. All references in the following discussion are to
continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.
We suffered an unauthorized intrusion or intrusions into portions of our computer system, discovered during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007, and the related theft of customer data (collectively, the “Computer Intrusion”). For additional information, see “Provision
for Computer Intrusion related costs” below and “Item 1-Business” under the caption “Computer Intrusion” in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

Results of Operations
Highlights of our financial performance for the quarter ended July 28, 2007 include the following:
• Net sales increased 9% to $4.3 billion for the second quarter and 7% to $8.4 billion for the six-month period over last year’s
comparable periods. We continued to grow our business, with stores in operation as of July 28, 2007 up 4% and total selling
square footage up 4% from a year ago on a continuing operations basis.
• Consolidated same store sales increased 5% for the second quarter and 4% on a year-to-date basis. Same store sales growth
was driven by strong performances across the majority of our businesses. As for merchandise categories, dresses and footwear
and accessories performed very well.
• During the second quarter ended July 28, 2007, TJX accrued $178.1 million, pre-tax, for estimated losses in connection with
the Computer Intrusion. This accrual was in addition to pre-tax costs incurred of $17.8 million during the fiscal 2008 second
quarter and $37.8 million of costs incurred for the fiscal 2008 six month period.
• Our second quarter pre-tax margin (the ratio of pre-tax income to net sales) was 2.1% as compared to 5.8% for the same
period last year. Year-to-date, our pre-tax margin was 4.2% compared to 6.3% for the same period last year. The Provision for
Computer Intrusion related costs, which was 4.5% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2.6% of net sales for
the year-to-date period, more than offset what would otherwise have been an increase in our pre-tax margin.
• Our cost of sales ratios improved in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to improved merchandise margins
as well as leverage in buying and occupancy costs behind strong same store sales as well as cost management. Selling, general
and administrative ratios also improved for both the quarter and year-to-
15


Table of Contents

date periods due to leverage on strong same store sales and our cost containment initiatives. These improvements were
partially offset by a planned increase in marketing expense.
• Income from continuing operations for this year’s second quarter was $59.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, (which
includes an after-tax charge of $118.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the charges relating to the Computer Intrusion)
and compares to income from continuing operations of $138.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in last year’s second
quarter. Income from continuing operations for the six months ended July 28, 2007 was $221.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted
share, (which includes an after-tax charge of $130.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the charges relating to the
Computer Intrusion) and compares to income from continuing operations of $302.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the
same period last year.
• During the second quarter ended July 28, 2007, we repurchased 12.2 million shares of our common stock at a cost of
$345 million. Repurchases had been suspended during most of the first quarter as a result of the discovery of the Computer
Intrusion. We expect to repurchase approximately $900 million of TJX stock during fiscal 2008.
• Consolidated average per store inventories, including inventory on hand at our distribution centers, as of July 28, 2007 were
up 2% from the prior year, versus a decrease of 4% as of July 29, 2006 from the comparable prior year period. Approximately
one-half of this increase as of July 28, 2007 is due to foreign currency exchange rates.
The following is a discussion of our consolidated operating results, followed by a discussion of our segment operating results. All
references to earnings per share are diluted earnings per share unless otherwise indicated.
Net sales: Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended July 28, 2007 were $4.3 billion, up 9% from $4.0 billion in last year’s second
quarter. The increase in net sales for this year’s second quarter included 5% from same store sales and 4% from new stores. The same
store sales increase for this year’s second quarter and last year’s second quarter were favorably impacted by approximately one
percentage point from foreign currency exchange rates.
On a year-to-date basis, consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 28, 2007 were $8.4 billion, up 7% over $7.8 billion in last
year’s comparable period. The increase in net sales for the six months ended July 28, 2007 includes 4% from same store sales and 3%
from new stores. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted same store sales by approximately one percentage point in both
the current and prior year six-month periods.
Same store sales increases for both the quarter and six months ended July 28, 2007 reflected an increase in average ticket with
transaction volume remaining consistent with that of the prior year. In both the fiscal 2008 first and second quarters, we continued to
solidly execute our off-price fundamentals, buying close to need and taking advantage of opportunities in the market place. Our liquid
inventory position as we entered the second quarter allowed us to shift inventory dollars into high demand categories (such as
dresses).
Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended July 28, 2007 reflected strong same store sales increases across the majority of
our businesses. As for merchandise categories, dresses and footwear and accessories were particularly strong. Geographically, sales in
Canada and the United Kingdom were above the consolidated average, as were sales in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the
United States. Sales in the West Coast and Florida trailed the consolidated average.
We define same store sales to be sales of those stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or
in other words, stores that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. We classify a store as a new store until it meets the same
store criteria. We determine which stores are included in the same store sales calculation at the beginning of a fiscal year and the
classification remains constant throughout that year, unless a store is closed. We calculate same store sales results by comparing the
current and prior year weekly periods that are most closely aligned. Relocated stores and stores that are expanded in size are generally
classified in the same way as the original store, and we believe that the impact of these stores on the consolidated same store
percentage is immaterial. Consolidated and divisional same store sales are calculated in U.S. dollars. We also provide divisional
16


Table of Contents

same store sales in local currency for our foreign divisions because this removes the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, and
we believe it is a more appropriate measure of the divisional operating performance.
The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results expressed as a percentage of net sales:

Percentage of Net Sales Percentage of Net Sales
Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
2007 2006 2007 2006
Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs 76.0 76.6 75.9 76.0
Selling, general and administrative expenses 17.4 17.5 17.3 17.6
Provision for Computer Intrusion related costs 4.5 — 2.6 —
Interest (income) expense, net 0.0 0.1 0.0 0.1
Income before provision for income taxes 2.1% 5.8% 4.2% 6.3%
Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs: Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a percentage of net
sales, decreased 0.6 percentage points for the quarter ended July 28, 2007 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease is
primarily due to improved merchandise margins combined with expense leverage on strong same store sales, primarily in occupancy
costs.
On a year-to-date basis, cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.1 percentage
point, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in this ratio reflects a 0.2 percentage point increase in our consolidated
merchandise margin, primarily by increased mark-on. All other buying and occupancy costs remained relatively flat as compared to
the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
0.1 percentage point for the second quarter and 0.3 percentage points for the six months ended July 28, 2007 as compared to the same
periods last year. This ratio improved due to our continued focus on expense management and leverage on our mid-single digit same
store sales. We experienced expense leverage in store payroll, fringe and other store costs. These improvements were partially offset
by a planned increase in advertising costs as well as store relocation costs incurred at T.K. Maxx. While advertising costs increased,
the remaining components of selling, general and administrative expenses leveraged 0.3 percentage points in the second quarter and
0.4 percentage points for the year-to-date period.
Provision for Computer Intrusion related costs: We face potential liabilities to customers, banks, payment card companies,
governmental entities and shareholders with respect to the Computer Intrusion. Certain banks have sought, and other banks and
payment card companies may seek, either directly against us or through claims against our acquiring banks as to which we may have
indemnity obligations, payment of or reimbursement for fraudulent card charges and operating expenses (such as costs of replacing
and/or monitoring payment cards thought by them to have been placed at risk by the Computer Intrusion) that they believe they have
incurred by reason of the Computer Intrusion. Each of our acquiring banks has asserted a right to be indemnified by us for any losses
it incurs by reason of claims by issuing banks. In addition, payment card companies and associations have imposed, and others may
seek to impose, fines by reason of the Computer Intrusion. Various litigation and claims have been, and additional litigation and
claims may be, asserted against us and/or our acquiring banks on behalf of customers, banks and payment card companies and
shareholders seeking damages allegedly arising out of the Computer Intrusion and other relief related to the Computer Intrusion. We
intend to defend such litigation and claims vigorously, although we cannot predict the outcome of any such litigation and claims.
Various governmental agencies are investigating the Computer Intrusion, and although we are cooperating in such investigations, we
may be subject to fines or other obligations as a result of those investigations.
The periods ended July 28, 2007 include pre-tax charges of approximately $195.9 million for the second quarter and $215.9 million
for the six-month period relating to the Provision for Computer Intrusion related costs. These charges include pre-tax costs of
$17.8 million for the second quarter and $37.8 million for the six-month period, as
17


Table of Contents

well as a pre-tax accrual of $178.1 million for our estimated exposure to potential losses. As a result of information that became
available during and subsequent to the second quarter we were able to estimate our probable losses related to the Computer Intrusion.
This accrual reflects our estimation of probable losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes an
estimation of total potential cash liabilities, from pending litigation, proceedings, investigations and other claims, as well as legal and
other costs and expenses, arising from the Computer Intrusion. In addition, we expect to incur after-tax, non-cash charges of
approximately $21 million, or $0.05 per share, in fiscal 2009. Together, these cash and non-cash charges represent our best estimate of
the total losses we expect to incur as a result of the Computer Intrusion. As estimates, they are subject to uncertainty, and our actual
costs may vary materially from our current estimates. We may decrease or increase our estimates of future expenses or the amount of
our accrual based on developments such as the course and resolution of litigation and investigations and new information with respect
to the Computer Intrusion and amounts recoverable under insurance policies. Any such decreases or increases may be material.
Interest (income) expense, net: Interest (income) expense, net amounted to income of $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal
2008 compared to expense of $5.4 million for the same period last year. Interest (income) expense, net, amounted to income of
$3.5 million for the six-months ended July 28, 2007 compared to expense of $9.2 million for the same period last year. These changes
were the result of interest income totaling $11.0 million in the second quarter this year versus $4.3 million for the same period last
year and $23.1 million for the six month period this year versus $10.3 million for the same period last year. The additional interest
income this year was due to higher cash balances available for investment, partly the result of the temporary suspension of our stock
buyback program for most of the fiscal 2008 first quarter, as well as higher interest rates.
Income taxes: The effective income tax rate was 35.9% for the second quarter ended July 28, 2007 compared to 39.8% for last year’s
second quarter, and 37.8% for the current year-to-date period as compared to 38.4% for last year’s comparable period. The reduction
in the effective income tax rates for the fiscal 2008 second quarter and year-to-date period as compared to comparable prior periods is
largely driven by the tax impact on the Provision for Computer Intrusion related costs. The tax impact related to this accrual is
recorded at a marginal tax rate which is higher than the effective income tax rate on all other earnings resulting in a reduction in the
fiscal 2008 effective income tax rate. In addition, comparison of the second quarter effective income tax rates is impacted by an
increase in last year’s second quarter rate due to the non-deductibility of foreign currency losses incurred in fiscal 2007 on certain
intercompany loans.
Income from continuing operations: Income from continuing operations for this year’s second quarter was $59.0 million, or $0.13
per diluted share, (which includes an after-tax charge of $118.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, relating to the Computer Intrusion)
and compares to income from continuing operations of $138.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.
Income from continuing operations for the six months ended July 28, 2007 was $221.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, (which
includes an after-tax charge of $130.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, relating to the Computer Intrusion) and compares to income
from continuing operations of $302.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Changes in currency exchange
rates had a favorable impact on income from continuing operations of approximately $3 million for the second quarter but did not
have a significant impact on our year-to-date earnings.
Discontinued operations and net income: During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we closed 34 A.J. Wright stores and recorded the
cost to close the stores, as well as operating results of the stores, as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the financial statements for
the prior period ended July 28, 2006 have been adjusted to reflect the operating results of the closed stores as discontinued operations.
Net income, which includes the impact of discontinued operations, was $59.0 million, or $0.13 per share for the quarter ended July 28,
2007 compared to $138.2 million, or $0.29 per share, for the quarter ended July 29, 2006. For the six-month period ended July 28,
2007, net income, which includes the impact of discontinued operations, was $221.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to
$302.0 million, or $0.63 per share last year.
Segment information: The following is a discussion of the operating results of our business segments. We consider each of our
operating divisions to be a segment. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on “segment profit or loss,” which we define
as pre-tax income before general corporate expense, Provision for Computer Intrusion related costs and interest. “Segment profit or
loss” as we define the term may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. In addition, this measure of
performance should not be considered an alternative to net income
18


Table of Contents

or cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. Presented below is selected
financial information related to our business segments (U.S. dollars in millions):

Marmaxx

2007 2006 2007 2006
Net sales $2,815.6 $2,658.5 $5,545.1 $5,305.2
Segment profit $ 252.0 $ 208.3 $ 524.6 $ 477.8
Segment profit as a percentage of net sales 9.0% 7.8% 9.5% 9.0%
Percent increase in same store sales 3% 2% 1% 1%
Stores in operation at end of period 1,594 1,536
Selling square footage at end of period (in thousands) 39,078 37,563
Net sales for Marmaxx increased 6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the same period last year and increased 5%
for the six months ended July 28, 2007 as compared to the same period last year. Same store sales for Marmaxx increased 3% for the
quarter and 1% for the year-to-date period. We executed our off-price fundamentals well during the second quarter, and our liquid
inventory position allowed us to invest inventory dollars in fashion trends with high customer demand. Unseasonable weather for most
of the first quarter of fiscal 2008 negatively impacted sales.
Sales at Marmaxx for both the second quarter and six-month periods reflected same store sales increases in footwear and accessories,
as well as dresses. During the six months ended July 28, 2007, we added 137 expanded footwear departments to Marshalls stores, and
intend to add expanded footwear departments in a total of approximately 240 stores in fiscal 2008. Geographically, same store sales in
the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions were above the chain average, while same store sales in the West Coast and Florida were
below the chain average.
Segment profit for the quarter ended July 28, 2007 grew to $252.0 million, a 21% increase compared to last year’s second quarter.
Segment profit as a percentage of net sales (“segment profit margin” or “segment margin”) increased to 9.0% from 7.8% last year.
Merchandise margins were up 0.9 percentage points for the quarter due to increased mark-on and a reduction in markdowns. We
achieved expense leverage (primarily stores and administrative costs) due to our cost containment initiatives, which was partially
offset by a planned increase in advertising expense.
Segment profit for the six months ended July 28, 2007 increased 10% to $524.6 million, compared to the same period last year.
Segment profit margin was 9.5% for the six-month period in fiscal 2008 vs. 9.0% last year. Segment margin was favorably impacted
by merchandise margins, which increased 0.4 percentage points, primarily due to higher markon. As with the quarter, the six-month
period also reflects expense leverage (despite a 1% same store sales increase) due to our cost containment initiatives, partially offset

Net sales for Winners and HomeSense increased 16% for the second quarter ended July 29, 2007 over last year’s second quarter and
increased 12% for the six-month period over the same period last year. Currency exchange accounted for approximately one-third of
the sales increase in the quarter and one-fifth of the sales increase in the year-to-date period. In local currency, which we feel better
reflects our operating performance, same store sales increased 7% for the second quarter compared to an increase of 6% for the second
quarter last year, and increased 5% for the year-to-date period this year compared to a 3% same store sales increase for the
year-to-date period last year. Same store sales for the periods ended July 29, 2007 were positively impacted by sales of home,
footwear, jewelry and accessories. HomeSense continued to perform well, favorably impacting same store sales in fiscal 2008.
Segment profit for the current year’s second quarter increased 15% to $47.6 million, while segment margin decreased slightly from
last year to 10.2%. Currency exchange rates accounted for approximately two-thirds of the growth in segment profit in this year’s
second quarter. Segment profit for the six months ended July 28, 2007 increased 7% to $74.4 million, while segment margin decreased
0.4 percentage points to 8.6%. Currency exchange rates accounted for approximately 20% of the growth in the year-to-date segment
profit. The decrease in segment profit margins was primarily driven by a reduction in merchandise margins, which was partially offset
by the impact of cost containment initiatives and strong same store sales results on expense ratios. Merchandise margins were
negatively impacted by reduced markon on Winners’ U.S. dollar denominated purchases. Additionally, the decline in segment profit
margin in fiscal 2008 reflected the increasing contribution of the HomeSense chain, which has a lower operating margin than the
Winners chain.

T.K. Maxx’s net sales for the second quarter ended July 28, 2007 increased 20% compared to the same period last year and
year-to-date net sales increased 23% over the same period last year. Currency exchange rates accounted for approximately one-half of
the sales growth for both periods of fiscal 2008. In local currency, T.K. Maxx’s same store sales increased 7% for the second quarter
this year compared to a same store sales increase of 10% for last year’s second quarter. On a year-to-date basis in local currency, same
store sales increased 8% this year, versus 7% last year. Same store sales for home fashions, footwear and accessories, and dresses
performed above the chain average, while other women’s apparel categories were below the chain average.
Segment profit for the current year’s second quarter decreased 10% to $16.2 million, and segment margin decreased 1.1 percentage
points compared to last year’s second quarter. Segment profit for the six-month period increased 17% to $20.8 million, while segment
margin decreased slightly to 2.2% compared to the same period last year. Currency exchange rates favorably impacted segment profit
by approximately $1 million in the second quarter and approximately $2 million in the year-to-date period. The decreases in T.K.
Maxx’s segment margins for both the quarter and year-to-date were driven by lower merchandise margins, primarily from markdowns
on women’s apparel due to unseasonably wet and cool weather, as well as lease termination costs related to store relocations.
We plan to open five T.K. Maxx stores in Germany in the Fall of 2007. We believe Germany could offer significant growth potential
for our T.K. Maxx division in the longer term.

HomeGoods’ net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 9% compared to the same period last year, and on a year-to-date
basis net sales increased 9% over the same period last year. Same store sales increased 5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2008,
versus an increase of 4% for the same period last year. Same store sales increased 4% for the year-to-date periods of both fiscal years.
Segment margin for the quarter and year-to-date period improved over last year’s comparable periods primarily due to improved
merchandise margins and the leveraging of expenses, particularly in occupancy costs. We attribute this division’s strong performance
to solid execution of off-price buying and flow of product as well as improvement in some soft-home categories.
